you can see the login screen for my nextcloud instance at 
https://nextcloud.olliespeople.place and the tiddlywiki at 
https://olliespeople.place.  The tiddlywiki html and image files are 
accessible inside the nextcloud instance so I can upload more files through 
nextcloud.  All files are being served to the internet by an nginx 
webserver.

Everything is being hosted on a vps from buyvm.net.  Nextcloud needs about 
200mb of RAM so you could easily host and serve everything with a 5$ plan.  
There is a learning curve to self hosting since you are installing and 
configuring the network and software especially if your not used to some 
work on the command line but there are a ton of resources and the result is 
more than worth it.

I have done this through my home network as well using a free address 
through dynds as well.  The port forwarding can be tricky but it is very 
doable.
